Collector Shares Her Treasure Of Hats And Their History

July 10, 1994

An afternoon of nostalgic fun, history and memories is in store at "Treasured Toppers," a special program about hats, sponsored by the William L. Gregg House Museum in Westmont. The program begins at 12:30 p.m.

Susan Kohl Jankowski, a hat collector, will display several of the more than 150 pieces in her extensive collection and discuss nearly 100 years of hats-from the fancy ones worn at the turn of the century to all the popular styles worn every decade to the present. Patrons are invited to wear their favorite hats. A door prize will be awarded for best hat.

Members of the Westmont Historical Society will serve tea and cookies. A small donation is requested.

Admission for "Treasured Toppers" is free. The event will take place at the Westmont Park District Senior Building, 55 E. Richmond St., Westmont, next door the the museum. For more information, call 960-3392.
